Weston A. price Low Carb Diet
 

Do we have any one that is on this wonderful way of eating? Lets get together and support each other and trade tips.

I was enormously inspired by his book and would like to incorporate as many of the aspects as possible into my diet. It's sound research confirming old wisdom, then forgotten again. Actually, many low carb writers have cited nutrition and physical degeneration in their books.

I think the main differences from general low carb or specialized plans is his emphasis on fat-soluble vitamins from natural sources, wouldn't you agree?

I'm not on the WAP diet as such (if there is such a thing per se), I've taken a lot of elements from a lot of diets.

I full agree with you. there is a book on amazon.com that you can get for about $12.00 and it is new. The name is "Nourishing Traditions" it had 600 pages of recipes and useful information in it. It goes by the Weston A. Price beliefs. I am enjoying the recipes and all the info that is very helpful.
I am happy that you have found what works for you best :)

Well, not sure I have yet, I'm still working on it! Actually, I have Nourishing Traditions too, unfortunately it's locked up in a warehouse with many of my belongings from a former appartment.

I do often visit westonaprice.org, though. I enjoy reading the blog Caustic Commentary, though they only post literally once a season (spring, summer, you get the drift). Some of their viewpoints are a little extreme for me, for instance their take on vaccines, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. I know Loren Cordain wants everyone to quit consuming dairy products, for instance.

I've got his latest book, The Paleo Answer, and found his evidence against milk rather thin and circumstantial, though the rest is very familiar and makes a lot of sense. Of course, he's probably not looking at the unpasteurized milk products WAPF recommends, if that means something. Actually, he's one of the authors who, as I noted above, writes about WAP's research, it's in the first chapter.

I'll try most things once if they make sense to me, well, within reason!

I'm in a position to be genuinely skeptical about dairy being bad for me. I was diagnosed as lactose intolerant and had zero dairy for years. However, it never helped me lose weight or resolve a symptom, as it has done for so many.

Through low carbing, I added cheese and yogurt back in with no discernable ill effects, then became gluten-free (zero cheats!) with some very marked good responses: lost a couple inches from my waist, my arthritic hands stopped hurting, stomach had a healing "glow" for months.

Looking back, it seems obvious to me that it was the crackers, not the cheese. The cereal, not the milk. The pasta, not the dairy in the alfredo sauce.

I think there's a conceptual discrepancy in the Paleo prejudice against dairy. I call it a "prejudice" because the evidence is quite sketchy and can go both ways. It is my own conclusion that we were a species who kept herd animals long before we became grain cultivators, and that dairy, particularly cultured dairy, is far more intrinsically compatible than grains are.

This doesn't mean people can't have a problem with dairy. People can have, or develop, problems with all kinds of food!

Yes, Werebear, that's exactly my experience; the evidence seems quite sketchy. I bought prof. Cordain's book partly to get the whole chapter on dairy, and I do believe it might be an interesting idea for me to forgo most dairy for a while, but only because what he says about the purpose of milk made so much intuitive sense to me. I've run across the same logic and reasoning in that somewhat unlikely place (for good nutrition advice), books on power lifting/fitness. Since the purpose of milk is to make infants grow very quickly, I might have more success losing weight by limiting it for some time. I'm going to give it a shot in fact.

I'm delighted to feel that it may well not be forever, though. Werebear, you've given me a little bit of reassurance, though I realize it is anecdotal!
